The channel also plans frequent replays leading up to that week’s UFC on FOX 1 event.

FX and FUEL TV are both owned by FOX, which recently inked a landmark
seven-year deal with the UFC. The partnership officially kicks off in
2012.

Additionally, FUEL TV has announced plans for both a pre- and post-fight show for the Nov. 12 UFC on FOX 1 event, which features a heavyweight title fight between current champ Cain Velasquez and top contender Junior Dos Santos. Th event takes place at Anaheim, Calif.’s Honda Center.

Glazer also assumes hosting duties for the pre- and post-fight specials. UFC multi-division contender Kenny Florian also hosts the programs, which promise to offer “fighter profiles and expert analysis, as well as celebrities from the red carpet” in addition to “a complete breakdown of the biggest event in UFC history.”

UFC brass recently announced veteran ESPN broadcaster Jon Anik as a part of FX and FUEL TV, but he has not yet been announced as a part of the pre- or post-fight coverage.

DirecTV customers may soon be without FUEL TV due to a contract dispute between the channel’s ownership group and the satellite-service provider. However, on Thursday, White declined to offer insight into the negotiations due to his ongoing relationship with both companies. Nevertheless, the UFC boss cited a previous dispute with the Versus channel, which has carried both UFC and WEC programming, in looking to calm MMA fans’ concerns that the dispute will preclude them from tuning into the newly announced programming.
